A LEGENDARY PASSION

E D I T O R I A L

The EMO fair is almost upon us, and that particular event calls for a new version of HURONEWS.

EMO now sets global standards. It is where ideas, from the simplest to the wildest, take action in the shape of actual products put on display. EMO is and will remain the fertile ground on which the imagination of engineers can produce fruit.Huron cannot afford to miss such an event. The fair is held every two years, and paces our discoveries, innovations, business assets and treasure troves of know-how and skills.

This particular year, we want to turn the spotlight on the employees who are behind the success and strength of the company. All company departments form integral part of the chain of collaboration, and make a valuable contribution to product excellence. Each in their own area is a strong link, bringing its knowledge, speciality and dedication to the task. All contribute to the end purpose that of manufacturing and offering products that are known throughout the world for their high performance and ruggedness. That dedication is handed down the generations, fostered and nurtured to make what characterises us, namely POWER and PRECISION.

For over 160 years, we have retained our ability to develop and adapt, and are now more motivated than ever. The manufac-turing chain is made up of a multitude of links, and each is an important factor for the success of our business and those of our customers. Our customers trust the added value we provide through our products, which are always designed and calibrated to help them to manufacture more, without com-promising quality.The business we have been operating for 160 years is undergoing a normal gene-rational change. That creates a positive and productive opportunity. It enables newcomers to bring their youth and creativity, to learn from their seniors and take advantage of their experience. Each employee becomes aware of their involvement and thus plays a responsible part in the success of the company. Work well done will always be a source of pleasure and joy to the individual who puts in their best efforts and skills. For us, this issue is a way of highlighting the pride and the dynamic and responsible influence of those who produce the equipment our customers use every day.

One important step that we have sought to take on the occasion of EMO is the renewal of our range of machines. After 20 years of machine bodies with stark geometric lines, we had to give a more modern and graceful look to the equipment our customers install and use in their production units.Style, figure, usability and beauty are concepts that are part of our

daily lives. Stimulating the senses is of great importance. A user’s first visual contact with a product is through its appearance and packaging. That initial impression can make a user relate to the product and may influence their choice. While the outside appearance is not more important than functionality, it is quite clear that a pleasing look does not mean that the product is inferior.The structures and subassemblies used by Huron continue to meet our quality criteria of the past, and have not changed in any way. Our products have simply been given greater visual appeal, a more modern style and features that make them particularly easy to use.

For over 100 years, Huron has been a specialist of five-axis machining. After inventing the Huron head, which is a must-have for those who care about precision mechanical engineering, we could not evade our duty to continue developing products so as to help customers manu-facture better products, at a higher speed and for a lower cost. During

economic recovery, customers are known to start looking for more advanced, rugged and durable manufacturing investments and solutions. The new UMILL five-axis machine range developed by our design department is affordable, and lives up to our signature of POWER and PRECISION at the same time. Today, we offer a variety of machines using the five-axis system, to allow each customer to find the most suitable product they need to conceptualise the parts to produce.

Lastly, Huron is ready for Industry 4.0! Huron has been very busy in the area, and EMO will provide an opportunity for displaying our range of systems through a number of programs and applications. These have been developed and devised so that the workshop may become a complete work platform made up of smart and connected machines. Our principal concern is to deve-lop systems that prevent risks and control phenomena that can diminish quality or productivity. Prevention is better than cure. The latest development from Huron will be presented for the first time ever in the

world. It is sure to attract manufacturers who want to preserve the integrity of their single parts or small runs, or parts with a very high value. The development, named , will give peace of mind while machining complex shapes. We are experts of the making of products devoted to the aviation, injection mould, precision engineering, power and medical engineering industries. We have set ourselves the task of helping our customers and allowing their advance through the use of powerful and smart systems. We are sure you will like what you will see.

Enjoy your discovery in these pages!

or how to save time while protecting the machine and the workpieces ?• Do you simulate your machining process?• Have you ever damaged clamps, tools or a spindle? • Do you make complex parts using three or five-axis machining?• Are you afraid of collisions?

Our machine protection solution allows to conciliate machining efficiency, safety and profitability.

is a quick and simple solution that address the day-to-day problem of safe-proofing the machining process, allowing the user to concentrate on producing parts instead of looking for potential collisions.

MAIN FEATURES

Protect your machine

• No collision• No repair costs• No expensive downtime• No operation loss• No delivery delays to customers• Conserve machine accuracy

Save time

• No simulation required• An industrial computer take care

of the simulation

Protect your workpieces

• No scrapped pieces• Integrity of pieces• Ideal for both complex, expensive single

parts and small runs• Protect your profits• Protect your customer

Real-time computation

• The detection of an imminent collision, in automatic or manual mode, triggers an immediate and automatic stop of the movements of the machine

• Movements are allowed when no collision is detected in the future

Anticipate any form of collision … the future is now!Any movement on a NC machine is pre-processed by the look-ahead, which in turns provide the future positions of the axes.

uses these future positions to animate a complete virtual model of the machine, thus detecting collisions before they occur, and braking the axes in time before any physical contact.

In concrete terms, the machine cuts in the present while collision-checking the future. Monitoring of tool paths and machine movements is done in real time.

• Real-time monitoring of interference of each axis movement using the current NC program, tool offsets, work offsets and fixture models

• Material removal done on the virtual part with future position, allowing visualization of the machining on the simulation

• High degree of reliability: if a risk of collision is detected, the machine automatically and immediately interrupts any movement

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE1. Take advantage of the speed of your machines without having fear

of collision causing a reduction of efficiency

2. Save time by starting your machining program straight away without simulation

3. Increase profitability while you protect both machine and workpiece

4. Prevent operator errors during manual movements

5. Work with complete peace of mind: let the machine work unsupervised

6. Machining of the virtual model of the part: useful for analysis or to transfer the physical part and its virtual model on a second machine to continue the machining

· Better surface finish and accuracy as tool is replaced when needed

· Configurable wear and breakage detection tolerance, as well as check intervals and behaviour for out-of-tolerance tools

· Allows for automatic replacement of tools

or how optimise roughing operations ?Takes care of optimizing the roughing operation by automatically modulating and adapting the feedrate, in real time, to the value that result in peak material removal. Material removal rate is minimized, resulting in a more efficient machining process. On five axis machines, the feedrate of rotary axis is also adapted to prevent any rotary axis overload.

MAIN FEATURES· Minimize roughing time· Maximize material removal rate· Full use of available spindle power· Automatic feedrate modulation· Spindle and rotating axes overload protection during roughing

or how to get an accurate and automatic calibration of the machine kinematic ?Automate the calibration of the kinematics by carrying out the measurement of the position and the orientation of the rotation axes. The calibration can be executed directly in an NC program to ensure optimum accuracy during critical machining operations.

MAIN FEATURES· Quick, accurate, repeatable and automated measuring system

· Optimized machining accuracy. Compensation of the thermal expansion of the machine

· Reduces rejected parts· Rapid evaluation following a machine collision (use to prevent collisions from happening)

· Control report generated automatically at each use – historical data allows for trend analysis

or how to detect unbalance on mill-turn machines during turning operations ?*

Provides automatic measurement of the unbalance of the part and its clamping devices, and computes the required counterweight that bring the rotating components within the required balance tolerance. Different scenarios of mass and mounting location are offered to allow flexible use. Validation of the resulting is done by repeating the measurement to evaluate the residual unbalance. *Available only with MX «MT» with SIEMENS 840D SL.
